Chapter Summary
While your boss won't fine you, if you're late for too long, they'll assign you to work on the ground first, which could be a real problem, as it takes a long time for ordinary people to be checked every time you go up there. Listening to these people talk about what's happening outside lets them know what other cities are like, and that's just how things are. That's why, after these things happen, some people choose to be grateful, while others choose not to have heard of such things, like the ...
The subway isn't very fast; in other cities, it would be considered a slow mode of transportation. But in this city, it's quite good because the routes are closer to the suburbs, so there are unlikely to be other people on the subway. However, if it were in the city center...
There are many roads that cross the subway, and sometimes the subway has to give way to the cars around it. There are also traffic lights on the trains. It's a very strange thing, but these are very real things in this city. If these things didn't exist...
If everyone had to give way to the train, half the city's traffic could be paralyzed. That's why people living here have to be very careful with their time. Even if you take the subway, you have to allow at least 20 minutes. If you don't allow that time...
You'll likely face being late. While your boss won't fine you, if you're late for too long, they'll assign you to work on the ground first, which could be a real problem, as it takes a long time for ordinary people to be checked every time you go up there.
During their time on the subway, Liu Ning and his companions saw many ordinary citizens. What struck them as odd was that these ordinary citizens came over to talk to them. After Er Lengzi explained, they realized that there were very few outsiders in this city.
So whenever they see people from outside, many locals get very excited. This is understandable, as the current situation is what makes them happiest. Listening to these people talk about what's happening outside lets them know what other cities are like, and that's just how things are.
If you live in this city for a long time, your daily routine will be almost the same. Most of the people who go to work on the same route have become friends. They chat with their friends every day, and the topics they talk about are the same. It's been almost decades. How could they be very happy?
So they hoped to meet some outsiders who could bring them new information. After hearing this, Liu Ning and his group were even more moved. Although they were just a part of this city, they were also working hard for it. If they were missing, the city would lose much of its glory.
"Actually, the loneliness of ordinary work is relatively simple, and most of us can cope with it. The most dangerous thing is patrolling outside the city. If I say this, you may feel very uncomfortable and think that I am a coward, but that is really the case."
Our patrols outside the city are different from yours. You might send ordinary people out, but here we send out highly trained soldiers. For five years we gave up this patrol activity and made everyone stay in the city. But what was the result?
During those five years, the city was attacked by ferocious beasts almost every year. Although patrolling outside the city would cause us huge casualties, if we didn't go out, it would cause us even greater casualties. Now we have resumed the original patrol batches. In addition to the people in our army, we also need to recruit a group from the community.
So the pay was quite generous, but not many people were willing to go out. They all knew the mortality rate on patrol was too high; if someone was even slightly careless, they might not even have a chance to return. Therefore, nobody wanted to go, so a lottery system had to be implemented, and whoever was chosen had to go out.
After listening to Er Lengzi's words, Liu Ning didn't know what to say. In this day and age, everyone is under pressure. When Liu Ning was first reborn, he was just a student. But so what? Because each gathering point had to send people to participate in the patrol team. It was because his grades were not keeping up.
If one's academic performance is excellent, how could such a result occur? If one were born into a wealthy family, such a result would also be impossible. It is precisely because of this that everyone has to face these things, which is normal in this city.
No matter what job you did before, or how much you contributed, when the lottery system selects you, you must immediately report to the nearest public organization. The public organization will then issue you a set of equipment, and you will have three days to prepare after returning.
Then you'll have to go out with the military. If you don't want to go out, you can pay 300,000 yuan and stay at home. Someone will go out in your place, and the 300,000 yuan will be given to that person. The government will only charge a 30,000 yuan handling fee.
This is actually the employment system in this city. Liu Ning is not unfamiliar with this situation. Originally, there were not many people in their city. Liu Ning's gathering point was likely to be disbanded. At that time, a few of them went out on an adventure, and they carried all the information on their own shoulders.
They made a lot of money outside and hired many people to keep their settlement afloat. If Liu Ning and the others hadn't stepped forward, it would probably have been swallowed up by others long ago. In this world, not many good things happen.
It's just that someone is bearing the burden for us. Everyone knows this, but not many people would agree with this conclusion. That's why, after these things happen, some people choose to be grateful, while others choose not to have heard of such things, like the specific place where Liu Ning is.
Many people felt that this was nothing special, so when it came time to make a contribution, they chose to leave. Liu Ning really didn't know what to say about this situation. He could only say that these people lacked a spirit of dedication. But didn't they also want to contribute? Was this the only way?
